Sidespace by G.S. Jennsen

Such a great series. I'm glad to get back to the stories of Alex and Caleb and their associates. This novel, in particular, looks at how people are dealing with living in a post-Metigen War universe. Alex and Caleb are off exploring the portal system, which gives Jennsen a chance to imagine different extraterrestrial intelligence outcomes. Meanwhile, politicians and nutjobs are mucking up the very uneasy peace between the Alliance and the Federation. And then there are the Prevos (AI-enhanced humans) who basically saved everyone in secret. Their secret is getting out, and man, everything is becoming a mess. I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'm excited to see where the series goes from here.
